Nursing students work hard. By giving them a gift they love, you can encourage them to keep on working towards their goal. For birthdays, holidays, or graduation, these are perfect gifts for the soon-to-be-nurse in your life.
Put down the kitschy t-shirt and buy one of these instead:
FIGS Scrubs
Scrubs are equally amazing and awful. Those big pockets and drawstring pants are luxuries normal clothes just don’t offer. However, the dumpy silhouette and one-size-fits all cut just don’t work for a lot of new nurses. Recently there have been a handful of companies working to make uniforms more attractive so nurses don’t have to feel like they’re wearing pajamas to work. However, good design comes with a hefty price tag that most new graduates just can’t afford. Because of that, we love the idea of gifting your favorite new nurse as FIGS gift card. This brand is one of the most popular modern scrubs brands with a focus on quality as well as design. Scrub kits start at $86.
Stoggles
Of all the PPE, goggles are the item that seems to get forgotten the most. Until someone coughs in your face that is. Unfortunately for nurses who wear glasses, safety goggles can be uncomfortable, fog easily, or simply not cover existing eyewear.
That’s where Stoggles come in. These stylish glasses double as eye protection so you can wear a single pair your whole shift without worrying about droplets spraying in your eyes. RX friendly and anti-fog.
Buy a gift card so your favorite graduate can choose their own style. Prices range from $33-$39 without a prescription.
Crocs
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, nurses wear a lot of Crocs. New designs offer completely closed toes, non-slip soles, and thick uppers to help prevent needle sticks or scissor stabs.
The most popular style right now seems to be the Crocs Unisex-Adult Bistro Clogs, Slip Resistant Work Shoes which you can find here for $44.99.
Speidel Scrub Watch
Watches are integral to a nurse’s work. They need to count respirations and heartbeats, and figure out when they can finally take a short coffee break. While every person prefers a different watch, buying a cash-strapped graduate a waterproof wristwatch with a second hand is always going to be appreciated. We love the Speidel Scrub watch because it has a large clock face, interchangeable silicone bands that are easy to wash, and can be submerged up to 50 meters which makes cleaning easy after a particularly dirty day on the floor. Find it here for 49.90
And of course…Money
Because student loans are the gift that keeps on giving.💲💲
Hope these ideas help you find the perfect gift for your favorite newly-graduated nurse!
